Doc then measures my blood pressure and stares at my veins....
*Doc: Are you taking ANY STEROIDS ?
Should have said, "Ya, I take about a half-cup with breakfast every morning."
General doctors are such morons. I've been confronted about that stuff too.
I told him the political thing: “No”,
whilst my mind was playing Invalid Link Removed with the not-so-political options like: No, does that make me a freak ?!![]()
I had a nurse lecture me about creatine use one time. Apparently it's been linked to all sorts of things like heart attacks, brain cancer (yes, she f*cking said these), infertility...
I was like, wow... I'll keep that in mind.
I think I shared my story about my physician asking if I was on steroids the last time I visited him. After i said, "no" he continued to lecture me on the dangers of steroid use, and after I assured him that I am definitely not on steroids, he simply advised me to stop.
I suppose that leads to the more important question. If he had reason to consider it does it mean your blood pressure is too high? Could a supp your on being messing with your blood pressure. I assume you are NOT on cycle?
If your blood pressure is up I would look at some supplements to bring it down.
Like when your attitude problem rears it's ugly head?No, he asked the question just before strapping my arm. My BP only gets abnormally high when I'm pissed off :lol:
Off topic.i just saw Rod Stewart go past me on my lunch break. He is still sporting a birds nest hair cut.
300 was just a rediculously awesome movie.
2 hour test booster.
Ya, it was a good movie. I thought it was even cooler after I read a little of the history on the battle and what led up to it. Some of those guys were even talked about in the Bible which I think is pretty cool. Obviously some of it was fabricated for Hollywood, but the meat of the story was true.
Have you guys seen the Mexican Parody of 300 on YouTube? It's pretty funny.
THAT I got to see, lol.
Damn out of all the GREAT gyno docs out there and him with his dollas youd think he could get it done so that there wasnt any noticeable scarring.
ya with all the air brushing and CG what did they care???
Maybe they did a group-lipo for all the guys in 300 to cut down on overhead.
They're called fat chicks......:run:
And speaking of Gerard Butler, I totally dig his butchered chest-lipo job. Where can I get one?
On a separate note Irish - my leg day isn't up for awhile, but I went over to the empty bar today to test out what you said because it crossed my mind. Did a squat with the empty bar ATG and started the positive by really firing the glutes... I can't wait to try it with full weight. I'd say before I was using 75% Quads.
Pitt looked absolutely incredible in Fight Club too. Thinner, but just out of control ripped.
Probably didn't keep up the protein intake if anything, but its apparent that Pitt stopped lifting heavy after Troy. He's much thinner now.
I still think Christian Bale is the most incredible actor with bodybuilder tendencies. Going from American Psycho to the Machinist to Batman... Absolutely incredible - I don't care what he was taking.

agreed.:box:
LMAO butt dmos, thats cool... I had an ass cramp while mopping a floor at community service 2 days ago.... that was odd.
Butt DOMS... Can't beat it.
I've really been less than impressed with the NOW product line. Very cheap - but I guess you get what you pay for? Stale / low concentrated supplementation and vitamins. I'll pay a little more, thanks. :lol:
Guessing you went with the wider stance perhaps? And did the Irish butt concentration on the positive motion of your squats?
Yeah, demanding schedule my ar$e, and yes, they have craploads of money for personal assistants to do their daily mundane-type of jobs. Real-world people do it all themselves.
Work is KILLING me at the moment :frustrate, but there is NO WAY ON EARTH I'm cutting down on my training Invalid Link Removed
Brief update as ^^ , workload has been insane, I need another pair of hands and a brain that doesn’t need to sleep to be functional :frustrate :aargh:
DAY 76
AMAZING cardio session. Went for 1hr spin on my bike and then for a 25min run.
Did NOT intend on running but once I was off the bike I had so much leftover energy Invalid Link Removed and I FELT like sprinting it out.
It was awesome, I haven’t done any decent running in the last 3 weeks or so and I’m really missing it. I could have easily gone for another 20min, the endurance and energy levels were off the roof :woohoo:
I’m suspicious this might be due to a slight change in supplementation Invalid Link Removed
I’ve started taking Biotest Rhodiola instead of Now Rhodiola and I believe (from what I’ve been experiencing so far), that Biotest is a superior product. First time on Biotest Rho was when I broke my PR in Deads and kept smashing heavy sets with no feeling of fatigue (DAY73). I seriously felt like a freak :lol:
DAY 77
After all that talk of :nono: crazy DF superset, stick with simple consistent high rep work, well, I went and did it
I was only in the gym for 45 min as I had work constraints :frustrate, but that 45 min was all I needed apparently,
at least my BUTT DOMS tells me so Invalid Link Removed
Workout was:
1.BB Lunges
2.Squats
3.Leg Extensions
I was working around 80% MAX, 12 reps, 6sets/exerciseI would have thrown leg curls or leg presses but had to go back to the lab
:frustrate :frustrate :frustrate
Which NOW products have you used that you didn't like? I'm a big fan of their Probiotic formula (Acidophilus & Bifidus) and their ADAM men's multi-vitamin. Other than that, I haven't used much from them.I've really been less than impressed with the NOW product line. Very cheap - but I guess you get what you pay for?

RANT OF THE DAY
So there is this dude in the gym, he must be 20 or so, 6’2’’, 180ish. Keeps checking himself out in the mirror to the point of stumbling over dumbbells that are left lying aroundHe moves benches sometimes if they are in the way so he can have a better view of himself as he exercises. He’ll start with the bicep swingarms, progressing to front raise jerk-ups, lawnmower’s single rows, etc, etc, you get the idea :fool2:
My absolute favourites are his “ I WANT SCIATICA :head: -deads”. The guy straps himself up with a belt, and then, as if a wasp bit him in the ar$e (if only :loljerks up the bar with his back rounded so it resembles an inverted U letter Invalid Link Removed
He finishes off the set by smashing the bar most elegantly on the floor - in an earthquake-provoking manner, then there is a cry of glory followed by the obligatory mirror-ego-check, Yeah, YOU ARE DA MAN :ntome:
Oh I would so die laughing!! We used to have a guy who walked around with his headphones on in a sweatshirt, he would sing super loud!! Then as he got pumped off would go the sweatshirt and the pose down in the mirror would begin. I hated doing sets next to him because I could not keep a straight face with his singing!!I can allllllmost top that. There used to be this long haired heavy metal looking guy who walked around with his head phones. Fine so far. He always walked around on his tippy toes, but that's not the weird part.
After he finished his sets, he would air guitar in combination with head banging.
He would also air guitar and head bang pre-set to get himself hyped up (I assume).
Then as he walked around the gym, he was viable to break into random air guitaring.
He would air guitar, get up on his toes for what I assume were high rifts and even drop to his knees for what I assume was a lead solo. It was the weirdest thing. Everybody just watched as if he were the town drunkard.
